Nvidia Outs Next-Gen Tegra 4 Quad-Core A15 LTE-Enabled Mobile ...

Nvidia has outed its next-gen Tegra 4 mobile CPU at CES. As?expected, the chip packs 72 ?GPU cores, offering a 6x bump on the Tegra 3?s graphics processing performance ? to make the most of higher resolution displays ? along with the first quad-core ARM Cortex-A15, to boost web browsing speed by 2.6x and deliver improved app performance. Also on board: LTE support.

Nvidia is talking up the computation photography capabilities of the Tegra 4, with automatic support for HDR photos and video, and also its power efficiency ? claiming it consumes up to 45 per cent less power than the Tegra 3 in ?common use cases?, thanks to features such as a battery saver core for low power during standard use.?The Tegra 4 supports up to 14 hours of HD video playback on phones.

Also today at CES, Nvidia has launched an open gaming handheld ? dubbed ?Project Shield? ? powered by the new Tegra 4 chip. The handheld?can download Android games from Google Play and Nvidia?s TegraZone game store, and also wirelessly stream Windows PC STEAM games ? provided you have a?PC powered by Nvidia?GeForce GTX GPUs?elsewhere?in the home. The use-case here is presumably if you want to flop out on the sofa to play to play PC games, rather than sitting at your desk.

The handheld hardware includes?a 5-inch, 1280?720 HD retinal?multitouch display, hinged atop the?controller:

NVIDIA Introduces World?s Fastest Mobile Processor

Tegra 4 Features 72 Custom GPU Cores, Quad-Core Cortex-A15 CPU for Superb Performance and Efficiency; LTE Enabled with Optional Chipset

LAS VEGAS?CES?Jan. 6, 2013?NVIDIA today introduced NVIDIA??Tegra? 4?, the world?s fastest mobile processor, with record-setting performance and battery life to flawlessly power smartphones and tablets, gaming devices, auto infotainment and navigation systems, and PCs.

Tegra 4 offers exceptional graphics processing, with lightning-fast web browsing, stunning visuals and new camera capabilities through computational photography.

Previously codenamed ?Wayne,? Tegra 4 features 72 custom NVIDIA?GeForce? GPU?cores ? or six times the GPU horsepower of Tegra 3 ? which deliver more realistic gaming experiences and higher resolution displays. It includes the first quad-core application of ARM?s most advanced CPU core, the?Cortex-A15, which delivers 2.6x faster web browsing and breakthrough performance for apps.

Tegra 4 also enables worldwide 4G LTE voice and data support through an optional chipset, the fifth-generation NVIDIA?Icera? i500 processor. More efficient and 40 percent the size of conventional modems, i500 delivers four times the processing capability of its predecessor.

?Tegra 4 provides enormous processing power and efficiency to power smartphones and tablets, gaming devices, auto systems and PCs,? said Phil Carmack, senior vice president of the Tegra business at NVIDIA.??Its new capabilities, particularly in the area of computational photography, will help improve a whole range of existing products and lead to the creation of exciting new ones.?


Computational Photography Capability

Among the Tegra 4 processor?s breakthroughs is its Computational Photography Architecture, which automatically delivers high dynamic range (HDR) photos and video by fusing together the processing power of the GPU, CPU and the camera?s image-signal processor.

Its HDR capability captures images, including those taken with a flash, the way they are seen by the human eye ? with detail in both bright and dark areas.

Unprecedented Power Efficiency

Designed for maximum energy efficiency, Tegra 4 includes a second-generation battery saver core for low power during standard use, and PRISM 2 Display technology to reduce backlight power while delivering superior visuals.

Tegra 4 consumes up to 45 percent less power than its predecessor, Tegra 3, in common use cases. And it enables up to 14 hours of HD video playback on phones.

Tegra 4 Key Features

  • ??????????- GeForce GPU with 72 custom cores
  • ??????????- Quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 CPU, plus a 2nd?Generation Battery Saver Core
  • ??????????- Computational Photography Architecture
  • ??????????- LTE capability with optional Icera i500 chipset

Gaming Portable for Open Platforms Designed for Gamers
to Play When, Where, How They Want

LAS VEGAS?CES?Jan. 6, 2013?NVIDIA today announced?Project SHIELD, a gaming portable for open platforms, designed for gamers who yearn to play when, where and how they want.

Created with the philosophy that gaming should be open and flexible, Project SHIELD flawlessly plays both Android and PC titles. As a pure Android device, it gives access to any game on Google Play. And as a wireless receiver and controller, it can stream games from a PC powered by NVIDIA??GeForce? GTX GPUs, accessing titles on its STEAM game library from anywhere in the home.

?Project SHIELD was created by NVIDIA engineers who love to game and imagined a new way to play,? said Jen-Hsun Huang, co-founder and chief executive officer at NVIDIA. ?We were inspired by a vision that the rise of mobile and cloud technologies will free us from our boxes, letting us game anywhere, on any screen. We imagined a device that would do for games what the iPod and Kindle have done for music and books, letting us play in a cool new way. We hope other gamers love SHIELD as much as we do.?

Project SHIELD combines the advanced processing power of NVIDIA?Tegra? 4, breakthrough game-speed Wi-Fi technology and stunning HD video and audio built into a console-grade controller. It can be used to play on its own integrated screen or on a big screen, and on the couch or on the go.

Tegra 4 at Its Heart

At the core of Project SHIELD is the world?s fastest mobile processor, the new NVIDIA Tegra 4, which delivers enormous power from its custom 72-core GeForce GPU and the first quad-core application of ARM?s most advanced CPU core, the Cortex-A15. These, combined with its battery-saver core and energy-saving PRISM 2 technology, deliver hours of gameplay on a single charge.

Windows and Android Games

Windows and Android are the world?s most successful computing platforms, with massive ecosystems of system and software developers. While not specifically designed for gaming, both open platforms have drawn gamers by the millions. Project SHIELD is designed to allow them to enjoy Android and Windows games in a new, exciting way.

Project SHIELD can instantly download Android games, including Android-optimized titles available on NVIDIA?s?TegraZone? game store, which has already delivered more than 6 million downloads to gamers. It can also be used as a wireless game receiver to a nearby PC equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 GPU or higher.

Console-Grade Controller

Project SHIELD?s ergonomic controller was built for the?gamer who wants ultimate control and precision.

Retinal Gaming Display

Brilliant gameplay and video are provided by Project SHIELD?s integrated 5-inch, 1280?720 HD retinal?multitouch display, with 294 dpi. Plus, Tegra 4 with Direct Touch technology gives it touch responsiveness that is a more consistent, accurate and smooth-flowing touch input experience than a standard touch device.

Tuned Port, Bass Reflex Portable Speaker System

Deep, rich audio is critical for a great gaming experience. And Project SHIELD provides fidelity and dynamic range never before available on a portable device, through its custom, bass reflex, tuned port audio system ? with twice the low-frequency output of high-end laptops.

Project SHIELD can also access Android apps such as Hulu, Netflix and Slacker Radio, so users can enjoy their movies and music anywhere without expensive, clumsy wired or wireless speakers.
